Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So I am assuming that this is for the regional staff to do their travel. Am I correct in that? Thank you.

My last question, Mr. Chairman, this is a pretty big travel budget, and I appreciate that this is regional operations and that aspect of it too. Is there a contract of some sort to reduce the cost, or rationalize the cost because each individual package is a pretty good chunk of the travel budget? Has there been anything like that done by the department? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Similar to other departments, MACA doesn't have a contract arrangement for travel bookings. Each division and region makes arrangements as they see fit. The bulk of our proposed travel for Municipal and Community Affairs staff in 2004-05 is within the Northwest Territories. MACA staff travel predominantly to communities in their respective regions.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. A quick question for the Minister. The distinction of this category versus the capital plan, I am just wondering what the difference is.

Mr. Chairman, if I heard the Member right, this money that is on page 4-36. We gave a contribution directly to the community, and the community owns the asset. If it is in our capital plan, then we buy the equipment, and bring it into the community, but we as government own the equipment. Thank you.
